recommendations for improvements to
agencies, the President, Congress, and
the Judicial Conference of the United
States.
The Office of the Chairman of the
Administrative Conference of the
United States has established a working
group—the Model Adjudication Rules
Working Group—to review and revise
the Conference’s Model Adjudication
Rules. Released in 1993 by a similar
working group of the Conference, the
Model Adjudication Rules were
designed for use by federal agencies to
amend or develop their procedural rules
for hearings conducted under the
Administrative Procedure Act.
Numerous agencies have relied on the
Conference’s 1993 Model Rules to
improve existing adjudicative schemes;
and newer agencies, like the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau, have relied
on them to design new procedures.
Significant changes in adjudicative
practices and procedures since 1993—
including use of electronic case
management and video hearings—
necessitate a careful review and revision
of the Model Adjudication Rules. In
reviewing and revising the Model Rules,
the Working Group has relied on the
Conference’s extensive empirical
research of adjudicative practices
reflected in the Federal Administrative
Adjudication Database, available at
https://acus.law.stanford.edu/;
amendments to the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure since 1993; and input
from agency officials, academics,
practitioners, and other stakeholders.
Additional information about the
Administrative Conference’s Model
Adjudication Rules, including the draft
Rules, meeting agendas, a listing of the
working group members tasked with
revising the Rules, and other related
information, can be found on the
Conference’s website at https://
